About

I'm an Electrical Engineering student at the University of Saskatchewan based in Saskatoon, SK. I like working on problems that deal with a mix of hardware and software. Things like rocketry, space systems and structures, embedded systems, and robotics particularly interest me.

Currently focusing on academics and personal projects. Still open to opportunities and projects in electrical and mechatronics engineering.

Personal Projects

• ARTS - Amateur Rocketry Telemetry System

  Open

  ARTS stands for Amateur Rocketry Telemetry System. It is a data collection system designed for Model and High power rocketry. It utilizes an array of sensors and modules onboard a high power rocket to collect and transmit data to a ground station for interpretation and recovery.
